GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- A De Pere High School math teacher is accused of hitting a student in the face several times.
36-year-old David Johnson is charged with disorderly conduct.
A criminal complaint says the male student told police other students pushed him into the door of Johnson's classroom in March. Johnson unlocked the door and asked if the student was knocking.
The boy says Johnson then stepped forward and struck him four or five times in the face with a closed fist while holding keys. The student's suffered a bloody nose and lip.
Johnson's attorney, Brian Maloney, says the teacher didn't intend to harm the student and that the event was an accident.
School Superintendent Ben Villarruel says Johnson is still a district employee and remains in the classroom.
